Abstract There is an increasing trend to reduce diffraction data collection to a set of numbers and the crystallography to a set of criteria. Many of these criteria have been passed on through generations of crystallographers. In Chemical Crystallography, the majority of small-molecule singe crystal diffraction data are still collected using laboratory equipment. Herein we review the methods for analysing data, discuss some of the influences on data quality and try to determine whether some of the validation tropes widely used are sound advice, or ‘Chinese Whispers’.

Abstract The data have been systematized and generalized on the specific synthesis of elemental silver nano-sized crystals (Ag-NC) having the forms of various geometric bodies (pseudo spherical, prismatic, cubic, trigonal-pyramidal, etc.), obtained by various chemical, physicochemical and biological methods. It has been noted, that the form of the synthesized Ag-NC can be controlled by changing the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters at each key stage of the synthesis (nucleation, seeding, and growth). Moreover, the size range of spherical and cubic silver nanocrystals can be influenced by either physical, chemical or biological methods during the synthesis, but such forms as nanorods, nanowires and nanobars can only be synthesized by chemical or physical methods at the present time. The review covers articles comprehensively mainly published in the last 20 years.
